1046. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The best day on which the sun rises is Friday: On it, Ādam was created; and on it, he descended (to earth); and on it, his repentance was accepted; and on it, he died; and on it, the Hour will be established. And there is not a single creature except that it awaits (the Hour) on Friday, from the time the sun appears (over the horizon) until it rises (high) — out of fear of the Hour — except for Jinn and mankind. And on it there is an hour that no Muslim catches while he is praying, asking Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, for his need, except that he is given it."
(Abū Hurairah then said:) "Ka'ab asked: 'This occurs once every year?' So I replied, 'No, rather every single Friday!' So Ka'ab read the Tawrah, and said, 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has told the truth.' I then met 'Abdullāh bin Salām, and told him about my conversation with Ka'ab. So 'Abdullāh bin Salām said: 'I know which hour it is.' I said: 'Tell me.' He replied: 'It is the last hour on
Friday.' I said: 'How can it be the last hour on Friday, when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, '...no Muslim catches while he is praying,' and that time is a time in which there is no praying?' So 'Abdullāh bin Salām said: 'Did not the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever sits in a gathering, waiting for the prayer, then he is in prayer until he prays?"'" I said: 'Yes.' So he said: 'So it is that (hour).'" (Sahīh)

1046 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، وَفِيهِ أُهْبِطَ، وَفِيهِ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَفِيهِ مَاتَ، وَفِيهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ، وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَهِيَ مُسِيخَةٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، مِنْ حِينَ تُصْبِحُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ شَفَقًا مِنَ السَّاعَةِ، إِلَّا الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ، وَفِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَةً، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا»، قَالَ كَعْبٌ: ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمٌ، فَقُلْتُ: «بَلْ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ»، قَالَ: فَقَرَأَ كَعْبٌ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَجْلِسِي مَع كَعْبٍ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي»، وَتِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ لَا يُصَلِّي فِيهَا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَهُوَ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: هُوَ ذَاكَ
